Similar prescriptions from the same prescriber are presented to a pharmacy by a variety of individuals at the same time
A prescription looks "too good"
A patient returns to the pharmacy too often
A patient presents a prescription to the pharmacy written for another patient
A prescription looks "too good"
Rationale: A controlled substance prescription that looks "too good" is not a criterion for identifying its illegitimate use. However, all of the other answer choices are warning signs for controlled substance prescriptions.
